Album artwork for Based On A True Story by Fat Freddy's Drop

Based On A True Story is the debut studio album from one of New Zealand's most loved and respected groups. The music of Fat Freddy's Drop is a constantly evolving, organic experience, which is rhythm heavy with luscious coatings of jazz, soul and funk, rooted in Aotearoa and delivered with an island attitude.

The album features 10 fresh slices of future funk, with surprises, fakes and freaky sidesteps throughout. There are new versions of live favourites like 'This Room', 'Hope and Ernie' (aka 'Willow Tree'), alongside the recent 12" 'Flashback' and six completely new tracks, all mystic supernovas of soul and goodness. An impressive and sublime album that has already reached number one in New Zealand.
